THERE ARE MORE ON OUR SIDE!!!

"Don't be afraid!" Elisha told him.
"For there are more on
our side than on theirs!"
II Kings 6:16
The New Living Translation

The cliché says, “If its’ not one thing, its’ another. And if its’ not another thing, then its’ the same thing.” Nowadays, we can add “Its’ not just one thing or another, its’ everything all at one time!” But, God is faithful to deliver us out of each and every situation absolutely every time. The things that are coming against the saints certainly can become overwhelming and disheartening. The enemy truly is trying to ‘wear out the saints of the Most High God’ (Daniel 7:25). As we go about doing the work of the Father, our adversary, the devil, will try to surround, overwhelm and kill us. But, we can be assured and know that He is on a short leash and it is God that fights for us!
Elisha was a true prophet of God. The king of Assyria continually tried to attack the children of Israel. He would devise his plan of attack with his military leaders however, the Bible says, “immediately Elisha, the man of God, would warn the king of Israel, "Do not go near that place, for the Assyrians are planning to mobilize their troops there." The Assyrian king became so frustrated with his ‘leaked intelligence’ that he thought that he had a traitor in his ranks. “It's not us, my lord," one of the officers replied. "Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel even the words you speak in the privacy of your bedroom!" This further infuriated the king and he sent his troops to find out Elisha’s location and surround him. The Bible says he sent a great army with many chariots and horses to surround Dothan, the city where Elisha was staying. Isn’t it interesting how the enemy must send an entire army for one man?!
Elisha’s servant looked around in dismay wondering what they were going to do. Every where he looked, he was faced with the enemy’s army. He began to cry and ask Elisha, "Ah, my lord, what will we do now?" The prophet prayed a simple prayer, “O LORD, open his eyes and let him see!" The LORD opened his servant's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.” The army of the Lord of Hosts was present and ready to do battle on their behalf. The host of heaven was far greater than the army of the enemy.
Do you feel overwhelmed and surrounded? Have you been asking, “God this looks bad. What am I supposed to do?” Pray and ask God to open your eyes and allow you to see from a God’s eye view. Has the enemy sent discouragement, weariness, sickness, disappointment and all types of trouble to surround you? “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31). Be encouraged and know that God has your enemies surrounded and they are already defeated!
